What you’re agreeing to, in the same plain english.

The rate you and a brand agree to at hire is what you are paid on approved work — in full. The platform fee that funds everydayugc is charged to the brand, not deducted from your rate. There is no membership fee, no commission out of your payout, and no fee to withdraw.

Rate, deliverables and deadline snapshot the moment you are hired and cannot be revised down afterward, no matter how the brand edits the listing later.

A flat rate pays once a brand approves your deliverable, or automatically after seven days if they do not respond. A performance rate — CPM on the view count collected daily from the live post — releases against that record.

Every tracked video is checked for purchased engagement, and what the check finds is shown to you and to the brand in the same words before the money moves. The check does not decide what you are paid: the payable count is the one you and the brand agree on, and the brand may pay on a higher count than we could evidence. Buying views is still a breach of the community rules and we act on breaches, but a person decides that, not the check.

Payouts and identity verification (KYC) run through Whop for Platforms, the same provider handling escrow on the brand’s side. If you are outside the US, a W-8 form is collected in our app; if you are inside the US, your 1099 is handled by Whop. We remain the merchant of record for these transactions.

How your flat fee is held, and its limit:the brand pays your flat fee into escrow before you film, so the money exists before the work does. It is released to you when the brand approves the work — or automatically if they let the seven-day review window run out. What this is not: a promise that everydayugcpays in the brand’s place. We do not advance our own money on a booking, so a fee a brand never funded is not a fee we owe you.

Once it is funded, that fee can still be withheld in two situations, and you are told in both: your paid post is taken down, or the same video was delivered on another booking. The brand may then decline that payment with a written reason, you get to answer it, and if the two of you cannot agree a person here decides.

Pay based on views is not guaranteed. It is not held in advance: we charge the brand when your video settles, and if that charge fails the money is owed to you by the brand rather than by us. It stays owed and stays payable — it is not written off — and we tell you when a charge does not go through rather than leaving it sitting as "ready to pay". While a brand has settled work it has neither paid nor disputed, it cannot book anyone new. Decide whether a view-based brief is worth filming knowing that.
